I'll just come right out and say it: The 1977 Atlanta Falcons were the best defense in modern NFL history (Read: The Super Bowl Era). Before you comment about the 1985 Bears or the 2000 Ravens, I would ask you to simply continue reading...

I'm going to start this piece by stating the following: Yes, I'm aware it's only May 12, and therefore, "on pace" articles are always rebutted with "It's only been ___ number of games!" Regardless, part of the fun in sports in projecting things...

Despite a sparkling record good for second place in the tough AL East, a number of Yankee hitters are off to poor starts. Mark Teixeria, Curtis Granderson, Nick Johnson and Alex Rodriguez are all struggling mightily...

Apparently, the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez and the Athletics' Dallas Braden got into some sort of argument yesterday when Rodriguez cut across the pitcher's mound to get back to first base when Robinson Cano hit a foul ball...

If you were a fan of the Yankees or Red Sox in the mid to late 90's, you no doubt took a side in the Nomar Garciaparra/Derek Jeter debate. Jeter and Garciaparra were two of the new breed of shortstop...

This is what it came down to for the New York Rangers? Two weeks of scraping their way back into the playoff race, raising the hopes of their fans, and when the New York Rangers were in a shootout with their season on the line, they trotted out P...

So Jimmy Rollins proved once again that when it comes to playoffs and predictions, he's an idiot. Picking the Phillies to win in five games was clearly an act of a delusional man. Thank God the mighty Yankees proved him wrong...

There's been a lot of talk this season about how Yankee Stadium has provided a big boon to the Bronx Bombers, with home runs flying out every which way. Some critics say the Yankees offensive numbers are nothing more than a product of their home ballpark.

As Joe Mauer looks to put the finishing touches on his MVP season, and Carlos Pena goes down for the season, I realized something the other day: Had Mauer not missed a month of the season, he'd be in contention for the Triple Crown...

Let me say this right now: I do not like how the Yankees are using Joba Chamberlain. I understand the larger issue the Yankees are trying to deal with, but New York seems to have no real defined plan with regard to Chamberlain...

I specifically chose this photo because I believe when Brett Gardner finally returns from a broken thumb, Nick Swisher should not be seen in pinstripes for the rest of the season. I'm not talking about removing him from the team completely...

As the Yankees pounded Josh Beckett last, drilling five home runs, it hopefully served as a reminder to fans that the New York Yankees offensive output this season is not simply a result of the new Yankee Stadium...

As the Yankees put the finishing touches on the Red Sox last night, the question turned away from the AL East race, and to the larger picture. It wasn't the prettiest of series wins for the Yankees, especially considering the pitchers they had going...
